Basics
Text Formatting
| Style | When to use | Markup | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citation | Use when you need to display code that is used by the wiki | <cite>lorem ipsum</cite> | lorem ipsum |
| pre | Use when displaying large chunks of code that you want to set apart from rest of text | <pre>lorem ipsum</pre> | lorem ipsum |
| code | Use when displaying in line code (code embedded in other text) | <code>lorem ipsum</code> | This is a sentence with a bit of code
|
| tt | Use when ??? | <tt>lorem ipsum</tt> | lorem ipsum |
| nowiki | Use when you need to display code that is used by the wiki | <nowiki><code>lorem ipsum</code></nowiki> | <code>lorem ipsum</code> |
Linking
The preferable way of linking to a file is:
[[Sample Makefile.html|Makefile.html click here]]
(everything before the pipe won't show)
and NOT:
"For more information about the [[Makefile.html click here]]."
This isn't the best way to create a new page, it names the page whatever is in the brackets, and then forevermore you have to remember that it's not called "Sample Makefile.html" or something more intuitive when you want to link to it.

Advanced Markup
Release markup
Additions about a forthcoming release should just be added to any relevant pages as a new paragraph. Header tags should also be used and the paragraph should be given a title "Release X" so it can be easily searched and integrated when the release is ready.
For example:
<div class="release"> '''Release X''' Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent velit. Curabitur non turpis sit amet nulla viverra feugiat. Ut sit amet pede. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. </div>
Release X Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent velit. Curabitur non turpis sit amet nulla viverra feugiat. Ut sit amet pede. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.
| Style | When to use | Markup | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| bug | [for use by DLXS staff only] use to alert users that there is a known bug in the software | <div class="bug">There is a bug. We're working on it.</div> | There is a bug. We're working on it.
